Goro stopped his hand holding the creamer, and raised his head with a "huh" expression on his face when he heard something unexpected. "He spotted me when I was in front of that robot, and that person seemed to know that I was investigating him." Yumi said while poking ice cream with a spoon.She told Wu Lang that he was in the company's warehouse today, and that he had completely tricked Su Yong. "You even said you were his girlfriend?" "Well, I did it all. I told him casually that Yuuji was killed by you. But—" Yumi recalled Suenaga's mask-like expression, "He didn't seem to be moved at all."

"He thinks they're all right?" "That's right. He's confident. He really believes that robots are better than humans. He's crazy. When I say he's crazy, he doesn't care." "That's the kind of person he is," Goro asked after finishing speaking, "What happened to the folder?" "He took it away." Yumi sighed, put the ice cream into her mouth, and then told what happened. "That's it... that was taken away by him." Goro seemed to be greatly shocked, and so was Yumi.The two were silent for a long time, only the sound of Yumi eating ice cream with a spoon, and Goro sipping coffee back and forth.

"Then, what should we do next?" Goro asked after drinking his coffee in one gulp. "Well, I don't have much appetite..." "I don't mean today's events, but future events. Do you want to continue investigating that matter?" "Oh, what's next." Yumi set her eyes on the empty ice cream container.She hasn't done any thinking yet.In the past few days, she has devoted herself to investigating Yong Er's accident.However, without that folder, it would be difficult to continue the investigation.She thought to herself: If I knew this kind of thing would happen, I would make a photocopy first.

But—she also felt that what's the use of continuing to do this kind of thing?After the conversation with Sueyong today, she really felt that everything was in vain. "Just give up." Yumi blurted out. "Give up, do you mean abandoning the investigation?" "Well, I'm kind of tired and realize how incompetent I am." "...But you tried." "I also troubled you and asked you to investigate a bunch of things." "No, I was hardly of help in the end." Goro laughed self-mockingly.Yumi asked him to investigate the safety department responsible for investigating accidents inside the company and maintaining safety, but as he said, it was fruitless.

"Goro," Yumi called him, "I'll marry you." "Bow painting..." "My mood has sorted out a little bit, but..." So Goro looked at her with a shy expression. "At that time, I will propose to you again, and then you have to promise me." "Yeah." Yumi smiled and nodded. "What are you going to do next?" Goro asked. "Next?" "Next day. Is there still time?" "Yes." Yumi tilted her head, she didn't want to think too much tonight. "I want to drink," she murmured. "Understood." Goro grabbed the bill and stood up abruptly.
